Trail Counters

The figures below are indicative for each section only e.g. users on a return trip past a counter will be counted twice.The infra-red counters in use from 2014 to June 2017 did not differentiate between types of users: e.g. joggers, cyclists, walkers, etc.New Trail Counters were installed in January and October 2018 which do differentiate between Pedestrians and Cyclists. The general locations of the new counters are very similar to the old locations with the possible exception of the new Lake Ohau counter which is now located on the trail half way between Lake Ohau Lodge and the Ohau Weir.For a more detailed analysis of users please contact [email protected].
